You just need to do it. Nike has a point!
Switch off your tweetdeck, log out of facebook, put those Recruiting blinkers on and just go for it. In football parlance... get your head down, put your bum up and just do.
Read the cv's, get on the phone, organise interviews, meet people, get activity happening. Do the reference checks, get the appropriate sign off, give the offer, close the deal! Shhhhh don't tell anyone, but that's your job Mr Recruiter.

It’s on – technology hiring is in full swing. For the past 12 years we’ve proven to be a leading indicator of market conditions, especially for the technology markets: people stop hiring when things get scary (see last year), and they start hiring when things look good. We’ll be the first to tell you, things are looking very good. And, as if you needed any more proof, we’re actively hiring technology recruiters and recruiting account managers in our…

A few weeks ago during the 3rd annual developer conference, Facebook rolled out some important changes to their platform. Underlying all of these new changes is their vision for a more social web. While the social web has many potential benefits, the key consideration is, are these changes beneficial for Social Recruiting?
Opt-out vs. Opt-in
After their announcement, some members of Congress sent a…

For all my blog posts please see "The Savage Truth"
As the market recovers, one of the first impacts on our industry will be a revival of the temp and contract market. Temp-to-perm will be huge. Employers will see increased work volumes as the economy recovers,but will “dip their toes” into the labour market at first, hiring flexible solutions initially. But then, as momentum is gained and confidence returns, they will start to…

“Such a shame, it’s my absolute dream job but I just don’t feel that I can stay”
How often do recruiters hear that?
A candidate said that to me last week. In this case, her problem was her boss...try as she might she found it impossible to have a harmonious working relationship and efforts to work through this had failed. She wants the bits of the jobs that she enjoys – challenge, responsibility, flexibility – but in another environment.
She’s not the first,…

To continue the twitter theme from my last post, I thought I'd tell you a story....
So I’m sitting in my office and the IT Director hurries in, shoves a small black box, some cables and a piece of paper into my hand. “I’m off out” he said, “give this a
whirl, I think you’ll like it”. And with that, off he trots.
I look at the box – a modem (remember those?!) and know enough to deduce that I needed to plug it into the office phone socket. After an hour or so of… Continue
